OS-HELP Loan

Australian students who want to go on an overseas exchange or undertake an elective in another country as part of their course can apply for an OS-HELP loan from the Australian government. You can apply for up to $5,523 per six-month study period for up to two overseas placements. The loan is treated in the same way as a HECS debt, is subject to indexation, and has the same repayment conditions as a HECS debt.
